Configuring iSCSI
Static Mapping
You can manually (statically) create an iSCSI target by assigning a user-defined unique iSCSI node name
to it. The iSCSI qualified name is restricted to a minimum length of 16 characters and a maximum of
223 characters. A statically mapped iSCSI target can either map the whole Fibre Channel target port (all
LUNs in the target port mapped to the iSCSI target), or it can contain one or more LUs from a Fibre
Channel target port (see
Figure 50-12).
Figure 50-12 Statically Mapped iSCSI Targets
To create a static iSCSI virtual target for the entire Fibre Channel target port using Device Manager,
follow these steps:
Step 1 Click IP > iSCSI.
You see the iSCSI configuration (see Figure 50-10).
Step 2 Click the Targets tab to display a list of existing iSCSI targets (see Figure 50-11).
Step 3 Click Create to create an iSCSI target.
You see the Create iSCSI Targets dialog box shown in Figure 50-13.
